Rachel McAdams finds out that she can trace her path to an ancestor that lived a life that was “very Downton Abbey.”

Find out what exactly she discovers on Wednesday’s episode of TLC’s Who Do You Think You Are? ( 9 p.m. ET/PT) In it, she and her younger sister, Kayleen, follow the trail of their maternal grandfather from their home country of Canada to a great estate just outside of Devon, England. They learn about their third great-grandfather, who lived a life similar to what is portrayed in the PBS drama Downton Abbey. He was a high-ranking servant at Bovisand House, which they visit.

With the help of Ancestry.com researchers, the sisters also find a family connection to an important time in Canadian history during the American Revolution.
